Hi Richard, hope all's well

I have to be in Athens for a while and brought a bike with me. Your routes have been very helpful in what can otherwise appear one of the least cycling friendly cities in Europe - so thank you.

One potential tweak noticed today - in the attached route (https://cycle.travel/map/journey/431845), there is a good 2-way cycle path running along the NE edge of the park, leading to an underpass to cross the terrifying dual carriageway running 7 o clock to 1 o clock. But the routing doesn't seem to notice this, and goes along the very unpleasant yellow road in a big L.

But on the whole, the routing is proving really good. There are pleasant routes, if you have someone / something to help you.

Thanks! There was a missing connection between the path and the underpass in OSM. I’ve added it now so c.t will pick it up on the next update.
